The video by Just Not Sports made me cry when the men almost refused to continue speaking. I re-posted the video on my Facebook and two male co-workers came to talk to me about this. These men have never talked to me about anything else I had ever posted on Facebook, and they are openly anti-feminist. They both told me that the video disgusted them and made them really question what they had thought about women being harassed online. I told them to take a look on Twitter or on the comments section of a female celebrities blog or Facebook and they will seen rampant sexism and threats of violence and rape.
A man I am friends with on Facebook recently liked a post on Jennifer Lawrence making a suggestive hand gesture. I counted ten posts saying something to the effect of "I want to hold her down and fuck her mouth." I stopped counting at ten because the other comment surrounding it were even more vile, it was hard to stomach.
Just today, a man tweeted this to me. I had tweeted about how happy I was that Ted Cruz dropped out of the Presidential race. He is a Trump supporter. I don't understand why he clearly felt the need to tweet these things to me, but he did....
being called the "C" word on Twitter is new for me.
